Is anyone here interested in a rubber boa?

For those you have bred in the past: Are you planning to breed more, less, or about the same this year?

I'd appreciate any thoughts on whether or not the bloodred is expressing hypo. Here, in person, he looks lighter than the others, but since he shed the difference is not as pronounced.

First are the parents: a female amel bloodred and a male golddust. Only two hatchlings made it, both appear to be female: An ultramel and an amel.

Tonight I found that a section of flexwatt had overheated and melted a hole in one of my bins. No harm to the snake and only a little heat damage to the rack, but it got very hot. From the heat mark it looks like a small patch of element about 2 inches in diameter overheated. All the other...

I paired my male triple het Bob with my ghost Samantha in order to use his hypo and bloodred genes to work toward ghost bloodreds. His other het that I knew about was lavender. The babies started to pip two days ago. Happily, Bob turns out to be het for anery as well. So far, with 5 babies...

Here are some new additions. The first two are a Butter Motley and a Phantom from SMR. The third and fourth photos are a pair of lavenders (female, then male) I produced this year.

These pictures are of a recent hatchling that should be a bloodred. As you can see, it has the grey head, and other than the first inch or two, there are no belly checkers. Is it possible that this is simply a very strong expression of a bloodred het, or just a weak example of diffusion? There...

Here's the final tally for the 3 clutches I have this year: My Hypo/Lavender/Bloodred het laid 18 good eggs on 5/24. They all look good. My ghost, which I bred to the male triple het from the pair above, laid 15 eggs on 6/21. I'm pretty sure 13 are good. My okeetee pair (Abbot's x Love's)...

Molly, '06 Amel Bloodred Dusty, '06 Goldust Buddy, '06 Ultramel '07 Lavender Sweetheart '06 Normal

I've been trying to find photos of juvenile bloodreds that are just starting to show signs of being pied. I'm not looking for pied sided, but the random white spots. I just had one shed and he has a couple of white spots left where he used to have normal pigment. Does anyone have any photos...

I thought my female amel strip was big enough to breed to my golddust. Since she is possibly het for caramel, the hope was to work toward striped goldust and butters in two or three generations. Turns out she had a hemipenis pop out when she tried to mate with the golddust. So much for the...

My pair of okeetees are ready to breed. I'm sure they will produce some nice offspring. The female of the pair is possibly het for amel. I also have an '06ultramel male with nice borders that is at the lower end of being big enough to breed. I'm thinking about trying for ultramel okeetees to...
